Harvard Punishes Law Prof for Defending Harvey Weinstein

Nothing can save America from decline if we lose our commitment to the basic principles that made this a great civilization. Take for example the presumption of innocence and the right of the accused to legal representation. Once, anyone who had made it through sixth grade civics class would understand their importance. Now, even the top law school in the country does not. At the behest of a liberal mob, Harvard has lowered the boom on law professor Ron Sullivan for agreeing to represent Harvey Weinstein, a Democrat mega-donor who was a major luminary among Hollywood leftists until he ran afoul of #MeToo feminazis.

Most everyone can agree that Harvey Weinstein is a slug, who has avidly participated in the degradation of our culture by promoting creeps like Quentin Tarantino, who opposes the fundamental right of self-defense, and who may belong in prison for rape.

However, he is an American. He deserves a trial, complete with legal representation. But Harvard appears to disagree:

In response to an uproar on campus, Harvard University decided this weekend to remove law professor Ron Sullivan from a dean’s post after Sullivan had signed on as a member of the team defending disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein. Ironically, Harvard’s decision comes just a day after Sullivan told the Manhattan judge overseeing Weinstein’s case that Sullivan would, in fact, be leaving the defense team. …

The lawyer and his wife, Stephanie Robinson, who also works at the school, will not be renewed as deans at Harvard’s Winthrop House once their terms expire next month.

Just being married to someone who would represent a sexist pig is beyond the pale. Not even being a Person of Politically Preferred Pigmentation like Sullivan can protect victims from the headhunting liberal mob and an Establishment that reflexively panders to it.
